Dennis,

Here is my understanding from the Hummer Guru here in L.A (also wired my winch for me and helped to get me unstuck on our last run), the stock air bags are rated at 1800 lbs., which according to him is insufficient for the H2's weight, hence the frequent ass dragging we read about. The bags he is getting me are rated at 4500 lbs. (give or take) and the system is adjustable meaning I can select how much additional clearance I need up to 5". Now some have said that doesn't sound right but I will find out next week when I get it installed. For me, this is a nice upgrade and should be rather dandy on the trail! Know that I am currently running on regular springs, which I opted for for numerous reasons and have had no problems on the trail whatsoever (frequent driver error excluded). He is also installing a heavier duty air compressor. Many pics will follow. I hope to have it done next week.
